#Overview

A taxonomy is a group of terms arranged in a hierarchical structure. The primary purpose of a taxonomy is to classify and logically connect related content items. This helps with content management and improves user experience with enhanced searchability.

#Fetch a taxonomy

To fetch a taxonomy, you need to access the API Playground section of your Hygraph project, select Management API at the top of the screen, and run the following query:

#Fetch taxonomy nodes

In this query, you can fetch the taxonomy nodes. The root node will return parent:null.

You can also retrieve the children of each node. In this case, you need to know how deep your taxonomy is. The following query returns the following taxonomy structure: Root node > Child 1 > Child 2
